About this app

Underscored gives every book its own musical score, timed to the
way you read.

As you move through the story, the music shifts with it - building
through tense scenes, pulling back during quiet moments, crossfading
seamlessly as you turn each page. The tempo follows your pace, so
no two reading sessions sound the same.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Frankenstein, Mary Shelley's classic tale of creation and consequence, complete, unabridged, and with a dynamic score.
- Free Book of the Month, fully scored
- Preview any score before you buy
- Full paginated reader with light, dark, and sepia themes
- Paper book mode for reading physical copies
- Offline support - download scores and read anywhere

HOW IT WORKS
Each book is analyzed for narrative structure, emotional arc, and
pacing. A unique score is composed chapter by chapter, with musical
segments mapped to exact word positions in the text.

Every score includes a musical brief - a composer's note on the
sonic identity of that book. The instruments, the motifs, the
emotional arc of the music from first page to last.
